Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!
Spring and summer are full of special occasions-
do you have any fun events to dress up for
coming up on your calendar?
Separates are a good way to go,
especially if you will be going to events
like weddings and graduations,
where you will probably be seeing some of the same people
As much as I love a memorable dress,
I don't want to show up in the same one too often
For a spring or summer special occasion,
you don't have to break the bank and buy a whole new outfit,
(unless you want to, of course)!
With a little rummage through my closet,
I came up with a dressy look
by mixing three separates that I have not worn together before,
but mix quite nicely!
The cropped white jacket is collarless
and has a weskit style hem and open front
I usually wear this jacket in the spring and summer,
layered over a dress to give the dress a little more polish,
and also to ward off the chill when going in and out
of air-conditioned spaces
Today I am wearing the blazer over a natural
cotton color crochet and sequin top
Although sparkly,
I have always chosen to wear this top in the past
dressed down with more casual pieces, usually a skirt,
because I thought the top had an earthy, natural look
I usually don't think of these white tailored trousers
as part of a dressy look, either,
but they give this outfit a bit of a dressy tuxedo vibe
in this mix
Pretty details!
The extras helped to dress this outfit up even more
Carrying my two-tone pink heart shaped handle bag
The most perfect accessory for a wedding, don't you think?
For jewelry I choose a 1950's vintage bracelet,
with a double row of pink beads,
a collar necklace entirely encircled in tiny faux pearls,
and a pair of silver tone hoop earrings with pearl detail
Around my neck is a scarf,
with the softest abstract design in rose and pink
I am also wearing a pink top knot headband
This is a lot of accessories for me!
Finally, I chose these natural tan sling backs
with ivory trim, a cute side bow and low heels
It must be love! 💞
Hope you have some lovely
spring and summer events to attend
and are ready with just the right outfit
Have a great week!

I love the "tuxedo vibe" you have in this outfit - a nice change from wearing a dress for a fancy event!
That's a great reminder to shop our closets before buying something new! I love how you combined three separate pieces that you hadn't worn together before and created such an elegant look. The white jacket, sparkly top, and trousers work beautifully together, and that heart-shaped bag is the perfect finishing touch for a special occasion.
Crisp and fresh! Love the texture provided by the crochet vest, and the unusual shape of your cute bag. I'm definitely a separates gal. Hope you're having a lovely weekend. Very blustery with rain here!
That is a very stylish and elegant suit. And the top makes it so special. It's very pretty! I don't own any two-pieces, but it would be great for a festival. Not the suit of course, but a two-piece.
